A Criticism of Siuokelets 1'owiler.
A well-known sportmau and gun ex
pert of thia city attributes the poor
marksmanship of the Spanish fleets to
smokeless powder. Ho says it ia a
well-known fact with sportsmen that
nitre or smokeless powder cannot be
depended upon for good shooting.
The strength of the same calibre of
cartridges varies; one probably will
shoot straight to the mark, tho next
high, and the third low. If thia is
the case with the small sporting cart
ridges, what must it be with those
used in the great pieces of ordnance
on warships?
Tho accuracy of the American gun
ners ia, of course, largely due to good
marksmanship, but the skill of the
gunners would count for nothiug, tho
gun man said, if it were not for tho
fact that the American uavy uses
black powder, the explosive force of
which is always to be depended ou.
He maintains that the samo rule ap
plies to the small arms used in the
army, and contends that the Govern
ment had make no mistake in not
adopting nitre or smokeless powder.

To Kill Chicken Lire.
Siuce we have been in the poultry
business, like every other person who
keeps fowls, we have had a great deal
of experience with chicken lice, and
the evil effects of the pests.
In former years we used to combat
them with lime aud whitewash, coal
tar, lord, etc., all of whioh have some
merit. But for the past five or six
years we have used but one remedy,
aud that a very effective and cheap
ono. It is kerosene oil, and, m our
opinion, it is all that any one needs to
keep the chickens, both old and
youug, free of lice, not omitting, how
ever, the place to dust, which is neces
sary to keep the plumage smooth and
glossy.
In order to keep lice off of the old
fowls, we keep their perches satur
ated with the oil, so that tho latter
are thoroughly soaked all tho time, in
the warm season, especially. We
sprinkle it on the sides of the walls
about the roosts and in the nest boxes,
and about the sides of the nests, after
the hay or straw has been put in.
Kerosene oil applied in this way
once a week will keep the lice away
from the chickens in the hottest
woather.
To free tho little chickens and thoir
mothers of lice, we rub the shanks of j
tho hen thoroughly, and her Uuff and
breast foathers lightly with the oil,
aud also sprinkle it in aud about the
coop about once a week. We do not
apply it at first, however, until the
brood is a week old. The oil pre
vents scaly and rough legs alsov aud
it is all that oue neoits to combat
chicken lice with. II. B. Geer, in
Agricultural Epitomist.
Summer Work Among l lowera.
Go ovor the garden beds daily, and
removo all fading llowers. This is
very necessary if you would keep your
plauts blooming. If seed is allowed
to form, the plant will throw all its
energies into the development of it,
aud you will get but few llowers; but
if the process ol nature is interfered
with by preventing the plaut from
forming seed, it will, as a geueral
thiug, mako further efforts to perpetu
ate itself. In thus thwarting its ef
forts it can be kept flowering indefin
itely. Remove all withered flowers
from the lower portion of the gladiolus
stalks. If they are left clinging there
they soon give an untidy look to the
spike. Tie the coutral stalk of each
dahlia to a stout support, or the plant
may be broken over by a sudden
wind. Give morning glories stout
strings to clamber on, but never at
tempt to train sweet peas ou any sup
port of this kind, for they will stub
bornly refuse to make use of it.
They like best a support of brush, but
they will do very well if trained ovor
wire netting with a coarse mesh. The
netting should be at least five feet
wide.
If the season is a dry one water
must be supplied to plants in the
bods. Give it after sundown, to avoid
the too rapid evaporation which takes
place if the application is made while
the san can get at the soil. Apply it
close about tho roots of the plants,
where it will do most good. Keep tho
soil loose and open. This prevents
its crusting over so that water will
run off instead of into it. It also ea-
ablcs it to act something like a sponge
and absorb whatever moisture comes in
the shape of dew.
If weeds were kept down woll dur
ing the early part of the season they
will not need a great deal of attention
now, but the gardener should make it
a rule to pull up every one as soon as
seen. Never allow a weed to riptu.
Grass clippings from the lawn will
bo found very effective as mulch about
dahlias and other plants requiring a
constant moisture at the roots. As
soon as it begins to dooay dig it iuto
the soil about the plant and let it act
as a fertilizer. Harper's Bazar.
Harvesting Oata Green."
There is a time to cut oats so that
the straw may be almost, if not quite,
as valuable as good timothy hav.
That time is when the berry has fairly
begun to harden and before the stalk
becomes dry and indigestible.
For manv years I have followed the
practice of harvesting my oats as nearly
as possible when in tnis condition. In
order to uo tliiH 1 am obliged to watch
the field, aud as soon as the grain be
gins to tarn yellow I start the reaper.
I do not use a binder, for I think the
grain cures bettor when left loose than
when bound up at the same time it is
cut. If I were to use a binder, 1
would tie the bundles as loosely as I
could and have them fit to handle. I
have seen oats bound so tightly in
damp weather tnat they would mould
nuder the baud.
Following the same plnn I use in
securing my hay crop, I try to cut
down only so much of my fleld as I
can get up safely before storm. I
would rather get up half an acre a day
in good shape than to have ten acres
cut and lying through a heavy storm.
In good weather the bundles will dry
out quite rapidly aud be ready to set
up. I always set my oats up iu ten
bundle shock, using two good-sized
bundles to cap the others. These
two bundles are bound near the butts
and tho tops sproud, ami then care
fully laid ovei the top of the shock,
heads slautiug downward, to shod rain.
Thus put up the oats will stand a heavy
storm all right.
When thoroughly cured the grain is
hauled in mid threshed. The straw
conies out bright uud full of Hweet
juices. Any kind of ntock will cat it
voraciously. Horses, cows, and even
sheep, will thrive on it. Muy 1st, lust,
my sheep left good timothy hay iu the
ruck aud ate straw secured as I lmve
described. The grain from oats saved
in this way is, to my wind, niuch
brighter aud more marketable than
when left uutil dead ripe and allowed
to standout m all kiudtt of weather.
E. L. Vincent, in Agricultural Epito
mist.
' Feeding Hens For Profit.
The right proportion of food for lav
ing hens can be scientifically ascer
tained, but the relative question of the
cost of the diirereut foods must also
enter into the question. Thus, accord
ing to tome authorities, fowls should
receive about sixty per cent, grain, fif
teen por cent, of flesh, aud twenty-five
per cent, of vegetables. This propor
tion is not absolute, but relative. It
serves more as a guide to the poultry-
inau than as au infallible rule.
Now the question of grain must be
decided according to tho locality aud
cost of the various grams. .Where
beans can be obtained cheaper than
grains they take the place of the lattei
very acceptably if ground and fed iu
an attractive form. Mixed with the
ground beaus a little corn, barley aud
wheat bran produce desirable results.
Corn we know has the greatest amount
of fat producing material iu it, and
oats more musclo-forming material.
Beaus, however, succeed any of the
grains in muscle-forming material, con
taining thirty-eight per cent, corn
pared to twenty-two per cent, in oats.
As to the meat, flesh or fish food.
the matter must also be considered
from different standpoints. Fish will
to a large extent take the place ol
meat aud flesh, aud along thesoacoast,
where fish can be obtained for a little
expenditure of time and labor, poul
trymeu make it take the place of meat
entirely. The fowls not only thrivfi
on it, but they learn to like it, and to
prefer it to any other form of meat. It
is cheaper, too, and may always be
substituted for flesh with good results.
The best vegotable substauces for the
fowls are clover, nlfalfu, green oata
aud gardeu vegetables. In the West,
where alfalfa thrives luxuriantly, this
is the best greeu vegetable food that
can be fed to the fowls. Green oata
are rather expensive green food, but
gardon vegetables cau nearly always
be found in abundance if one looks foi
them. The tops and the refuse of the
vegetables are often just as good as
the parts we eat 011 our table, aud they
should be saved for the fowls. They
should not be thrown into tho yard in
quantities. Keep the bulk of them in
cold water, and feed only a few each
day. AV. E. Farmer, in American Cul
tivator. f'liocse Muklng at Uome.
Experiments have boon made in
some of our Western schools of agri
culture to ascertain what kind ol
cheese is best adapted to the small
home dairy. The Gonda cheese,
made of new milk, seems to be the
most satisfactory. This cheese has
for tuauy years beon mado iu Hol
land, but by a somewhat different
process from the one used here. While
fresh from the cow the milk is 'aera
ted. When it has stood long enough
to lose its animal heat warm to 'ninety
degrees Fahrenheit, using sufficient
rennet to cause coagulation in from
seven to ten minutes. Let stand
from fifteen to twenty minutes, then
insert tho front finger at an angle oi
forty-five degrees until it touches the
curd. It ou withdrawal the curd
breaks clean across, with few or no
bits attached, it is ready to cut. Di
vide with a knife uutil the size is
that of an average wheat kernel. Stir
gently fivo miuutos, then gradually
increaso the heat until 100 to 104
degrees is reached, constauly stirring
as the temperature rises. Drain or dip
off tho whey, loaving the curd firm,
but not too dry. Press by the double
handful firmly into the hoop, uutil
full, then put on the cover and pros
lightly au hour. Remove from the
press aud put around it a band of
cloth long enough to lap a little; and
of sufficient width to cover two or
three iuches on each eud. Cover top
and bottom with a round cap, return
to hoop for twenty-four hours, with
'increased pressure.
The Gonda cheese is ordinarily
three iuches thick and eight inches in
circumference. A simple lover press
can be constructed of a hardwood
stick, ten feet long and four inches iu
diameter, one end fastened under a
cleat against the wall. Tho cheese,
band and cud covers should be dipped
in very hot whey or water before the
cloth is applied. To salt the cheese,
make a saturated solution of brine
and float the cheese in it from five to
eight days, turning every day and
sprinkling a little ;salt over the top.
After removiug from the' brine turn
once a day the first month, or if kept
two months twice a week, and onco a
week the third mouth. Tho curing
room should bo cool, a little damp
ness will be beneficial than otherwise.
During tho midsummer months tho
making of this cheese requires less
labor than buttor making. The pro
cess is simple, the product good,

SAPOLIO
IN A WOMAN
The questions asked of a woman by a mal
physician are embarrassing and frequently re
volting to a sensitive nature. In consequence
the whole truth is not told! This makes it dif
ficult for female troubles to be successfully
treated, and is the reason so many women grow
worse rather than better.
Mrs. Lucy A. Loughery of New
Lebanon, Ind., describes how wretched
she was until she received Mrs. Pink
ham's help:
Dear Mm. Piukham: I propped myself In a chair and
wrote to you, and as soou as I commenced to take your Vege
table Compound I began to Improve. I had suffered with
severe paina in my hips, back and head. The doctor said I
had bladder trouble and falling of the womb. I had spells
when, if I did not ait down, I would fall. I wan sleepy all the
time. I was also troubled with leucorrhtea and itching piles.
People thought that my end waa near. Ilad It not been for
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable- Compound and advice, I would
have been dead and buried long ago. I hope that thia letter
may be the means of helping all women who suffer as I did.
Women understand women better than
men can. The whole truth is freely told
to Mrs. Pinkham, and women only see the
letters received by her at Lynn, Mass
Her advice is freely offered.
Here is a convincing letter from a
woman in Bethlehem, Pa.:
nicAR Mrs. Pinkham: Words cannot express my
gratitude for the good that your Vegetablo Compound
has dono me. 1 have taken five bottles, aud feci bet
ter in every respect. Menses heretofore lasted tc;
long and were very profuse, and made rue very weak.
Your Compound is a miracle. Itefore writing to you
1 had tried doctor's medicine, but of no avail. 1
would not give up your Compound for female com
plaints for all the doctor's medicine in the world.
My friends want to know what makes me look s
well. I do not hesitat! ono minute in telling them
what has brought about thia wonderful chant";.
I cannot sing its praises enough. I hope every
one who suffers as I have will give Lydia E. Pinkham i
Compound a trial; and I know that, it taken according U
directions, it will cure. Mrs. Kuwuf Kuiiio, 413 Church
